I think the Aguamarines look stunning on her! They don't wash out her coloring like I've seen in some photos of her in rubies. While I'm not overly fond of the stones, I do think the Auquamarines are one of her best parures.

I hadn't noticed the resemblence to Queen Mary before but I can see a little bit of it now.

Betty Ford is not in the best of health;she was operated on for an undisclosed condition earlier this year. Lady Bird Johnson is in very fragile health.I wasnot surprised that these two former first ladies were not there.

The Queen looked so happy and relaxed in some of the pictures posted from the dinner.Nancy Reagan had the grave misfortune of being escorted by Dick Cheney;he strikes me as a very disagreeable man...just my opinion.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth's dress sense has been criticised by a New York journalist during her recent state visit to the US. New York Post columnist Cindy Adams launched a scathing attack on the 81-year-old monarch's choice of attire for her week-long tour.

Adams wrote: 'Forget the hats, shoes, hairdo, wardrobe, armpit-length gloves and schlepping that stupid, black, long-strap, hanging handbag that must have her bus tokens, mad money, cellphone and keys to the kingdom, and we won't even discuss the bad bra.

I enjoyed the Queen's visit. I was annoyed at the "reports" on Fox News because they kept saying stupid things like "What does she know about horses?" They can't understand why Americans would feel admiration for QEII. I believe she is a wonderful person.

What does Fox News know? They clearly don't do their homework as I thought even a rookie reporter would be able to find out that HM has been not only studying form, but combining breeding lines to produce her own champions on and off the track, for many years! .
